Right now, DMC can't outdo anyone except at blocks perhaps. He's not bringing 100% consistently. And like it or not, that is how it works. The player brings consistency, and then the minutes get consistent. Not the other way around. |
consistent effort like the starters last night??
i think dmc could easily outdo sheed in rebounds. he could outdo ben in points. outdo all the bigs minus sheed in assists. has mo evans brought consistency? has mcdyess brought consistency? this is a load of crapola. dmc's minutes are not a direct effect of his effort level. darko has many other factors that hinder his ability to get on the court.

When he gets in an NBA regular season game, that is a REAL chance to play. It's a chance that thousands of us would kill for, even if we were abused by our opponent and completely humiliated.
If he hasn't clued in that he needs to fight off everyone for minutes by year 3, and that every moment on the court counts statistically, with the fans, his own self-esteem, justifying his paycheck, his value for future negotiations, Serbian pride, you name it, then this guy is a colassal bust.
What I am saying is, please eliminate the naivety. Darko is either overmatched, lazy or dumb. I'm sure you will prefer overmatched. I'm leaning towards lazy although a strong case could be made for dumb.

i think darko is smarter than most of you think. his value for future negotiations is sky high anyway. he knows that even if he rots on the bench until the end of our contract he will still be a young 7' player with great upside. plenty of teams will be willing to sign him for a fat contract.
please eliminate the speed dating mentality. 60 seconds isn't always enough to show a woman what you are made of. 3 minutes in a game every other week isn't always enough to show what kind of basketball skills you have.
